I when out of state and picked up my 2nd pony car =) !!!! 65 mustang.... originally with a 289 2barrel carb.... c4 trans, 8'' rear.
Well it didn't come with that because the guy i bought it from decided to swap everything to his other mustang that was a I6. So now the 65 I have has a I6 and 7.25'' rear.
Now I'm in search for a rear end. I don't want 5 lugs in the front and 4 in that back. who would =p
I want to put a 8.8 in the rear. My question is... what car can I get it from to have a direct swap or somewhat possible swap..??

The 64-66 8" rear is not hard to get. I know a shop that could ship you one, no problem. PM me if you want more info. Adapting the 8.8 is a known quantity, but requires some real expertize, and you'll need the Motorsport kit to change to 5-bolt, which all by itself will cost almost as much as an 8" axle.
Give this a reading or http://www.discbrakeswap.com/ has a spindle kit that is 5 lug disc none power for 524 plus shipping but its every part you need.The versailles rear end you take out of a junkyard or look on ebay maybe craigslist.Or place a wanted add on here some people replace there 8 inch with a 9 inch.
A Versailles rear end is a 77-80 I think is the years it was made Lincoln Versailles. Its a 9 inch rear. You can also get a 9 inch from the same era Ford Granada. Thats also the car that you can get the spindles and front brakes from. The Granada front disc brake bolt right in the Mustang.
